Version: (using KDE KDE 3.0.99) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Compiler: gcc-2.95 OS: Linux I have got a NVidia graphic card with VGA, TV and DVI and the driver from the NVidia homepage installed. Connected are a LCD at DVI and a LCD at VGA. The NVidia driver always sets the monitor at VGA as screen 0 and the monitor at DVI as screen 1. My Device Section in XF86Config-4 is as follows: Option "DPMS" Option "NvAGP" "3" Option "NoLogo" "true" Option "CursorShadow" "true" Option "CursorShadowAlpha" "64" Option "CursorShadowXOffset" "2" Option "CursorShadowYOffset" "1" Option "TwinView" "true" Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "31.5-80" Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "56-60" Option "MetaModes" "1024x768 @1024x1024 +1280+0, 1280x1024 @1280x1024 +0+0; 800x600 @800x768 +1024+0, 1024x768 @1024x678 +0+0; 800x600 @800x600 +800+0, 800x600 @800x600 +0+0; NULL, 640x480 @640x480 +0+0" Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "tv,dfp" Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B" KDM always displays the greeter at screen 0, but I want the greeter at screen 1 because this is my primary (working) screen. There should be a configuration option in kdmrc for selecting the xinerama screen, like it is possible with gdm.
kdm _does_ support this, only kcmkdm does not. for now, manually set the GreeterScreen option in kdmrc. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 36682 ***
I too have this problem. I need KDM to be on my laptop LCD, not the external attached CRT/LCD. The laptop LCD should be considered the primay monitor (mostly a Nvidia/Xorg/XFree driver thing which KDE should not worry about), but I should be able to tell KDM which screen to use in the Control Center. It could be as simple as a drop down box with "Sceen 1" or "Screen 2" as options. There seems to be resistance with adding more complexity to the KDM control center (bug 36682), and I don't know why.
